The Killeen City Council will discuss some changes to its water supply and water managing systems during a council workshop meeting Tuesday.
The council will go over the topics during a workshop meeting following a special council meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall in the Council Chambers.
One of the topics is a bid with Landmark Structures, a general contractor in Fort Worth, to construct an elevated storage tank to accommodate water from the new $60 million Stillhouse Water Treatment Plant that opened last month after being in the works for years. It will cost the city $5,253,000 to build the tank with Landmark.

With the snip of a ribbon from some oversize scissors, officials from Killeen and Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 finally marked the official opening of a new multi-million-dollar water treatment plant Wednesday morning.
The $60 million Stillhouse Water Treatment Plant has been in the works for years and was slated to come online last year, but a leaky main where the plant draws its water from Stillhouse Hollow Lake delayed operations.
